So, you finally decided to quit smoking and ready to take the first step, stop lighting a cigarette. Of course, this is the most difficult step and surprisingly, you made it through the first day without having much problems. Then came the second day and although you have been craving for a cigarette the whole day but you fought and won the second day too.
While you were fighting your first two days, your body was struggling to recover from the damage caused from excessive nicotine and chemicals in your body.
I am going to tell you what is happening to your body according to a time frame.
For example, what are the progress your body is making during the first 20 minutes after quit smoking.
- Your blood pressure drops
- Your pulse rate will drop too
- The temperature will rise in your hands and feet
After 8 hours, you the carbon monoxide in your body will return to normal rate and the oxygen level will increase.
After 24 hours, the chances of getting heart attack is reduced.
After 48 hours, you will be able to eat and taste better. Your nerve endings will begin to regrow.
You see, even if you quit smoking only for such a short time, you can enjoy all these benefits. Can you imagine if you quit smoking for the rest of your life? You will be able to live better and enjoy even more benefits, but only if you are totally free from cigarettes.
Think about it!
